Warning Light On problems of the 2014 Subaru Forester

Warning light came on in the car indicating a problem with the air bag system. Subaru service determined that the air bags would not activate in a collision due to a malfunction with the passenger seat air bad mechanism. . Subaru service said the the system needs replacement. No recalls for this model and year has been recalled but previous Subaru Forester models from 2010 to 2013 had a similar problem and a recall was made for them.

My Subaru forestor from 2014 has a faulty airbag system for the passenger seat. It says that it is off when a passenger is in the seat and gives the warning light. When no one is in the seat it still beeps sometimes and I can only stop it by buckling the seat. This is a safety hazard and is Subaru's fault. I have never spilled anything on the passenger seat and it just failed. This issue happens more often than not and is random in the car. I took it to Subaru and they said that I spilled something on the seat and would have to replace the whole sensor for over $1200. I have seen complaints from Subaru models of all kinds with the same issue on multiple websites. It is in a variety of models and different year cars.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Subaru Forester. The contact stated that a system off warning light would illuminate when a passenger was seated in the passenger seat of the vehicle; system off would indicate the air bags were not actived. In order for the system to engage and perform as needed, an occupant would have to move back and forth within the seat and restart the vehicle for the system on warning light to illuminate and perform as needed. The contact had not informed the manufacturer of the defect. Lester glenn Subaru 1501 NJ-37, toms river, NJ 08755 (888) 785-0675 was notified of the matter and informed the contact to bring in the vehicle to perform a diagnostic. The vehicle was never serviced at the dealer and the vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000. Jo.

I was driving down the highway with my wife in the passenger seat when the airbag warning light turned on and the passenger airbag turned off. In the event of a crash my wife's life would have been in great danger.

Vehicle driving down the interstate when the passenger airbag warning light first came on and it has been on ever since. Have taken it to local Subaru dealership and they said that the airbag sensor/passenger seat need to be replaced. They determined that there was no damage (water or blunt force) that occurred to the feature and that it was nothing we had done; however, it would not be replaced under any type of warranty. Since Subaru prides themselves in safety, it seems odd that they wouldn't do anything to remedy this complaint that has been cited repeatedly, especially since it is no fault to the owner but rather a manufacturing issue.

My 2014 Subaru Forester 2. 0 xt has had some issues with the warning lights come on. One of them has been the passenger side airbag light. When no one is sitting in the seat the seatbelt warning will chime the entire time I'm driving, then eventually the airbag sensor light will come on and I'll receive an indicator to have it checked. Upon taking it to the Subaru dealer they informed me that I would need an entire bottom seat at the cost of $1,000 plus $400 for install. I was told the part would take a month to come in as it has to be custom made. I was told that when the light is on none of my airbags would function on the vehicle. With two children I can't be driving a car that doesn't have working air bags. I've been borrowing a family vehicle for the last week while I try and work with Subaru corporate to get the cost of the repair fixed. It seems to me there should be a cheaper option to replace the computer sensor that's under the passenger seat. I've also read on some online forums that apple products, in particular iphones laid in the seat can impact this sensor. That seems like an issue as well. I'm hoping Subaru ends up paying for my seat or covering part of the repair since it sounds like a malfunction that doesn't have an easy fix, and the impact of the malfunction is to not have any functioning airbags.
